IVIIJLIAM KAHLER, OF DRUMMOND, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO ISIDORE SYVABACKER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

APPAREL-CUFF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 387,790, dated August 14, 1888.

Application filed August 8, 1887. Serial No. 246,453. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, XVILLIAM KAHLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Drummond, in the county of Hayfield and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in On ffs, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to cuffs adapted to be supported in the end of the coat-sleeve with out fastening to the shirt-sleeve, and is an improvement upon the form of cuff for which I heretofore made application for Letters Patcut, which application was filed July 17, 1887, and numbered 244,480; audit is the object ofrny presentimprovementto render the cuff reversible.

This object is accomplished by the construction of the cnffillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents the cuff extended on a plane, and Fig. 2 represents it with its ends connected by buttons and in place in a coatsleeve.

The cuff is designated by the letter A in the drawings,and may be of linen or other suitable material. The upper and lower edges,a a,are correspondingly curved inward, thus making the end portions wider than the middle portion. The ends a e may be rounded,as shown, or suitably angular. In the end a are formed two buttonholes, b, lengthwise of the cuff near the edges a. a, and a transverse button-hole, I), half-way between them and near the end. In the end a are two relativelylong' button holes, 0, preferably about an inch long,parallel with and near the edges a a, and three transverse button-holes midway between them, the outer one, (1, being about in line with the outer ends of the holes 0 and of about three-eighths inch length, the second, 6, about midway of the length of the holes 0 and about five-eighths inch long, and the third]; about on aline with the inner ends of the holes 0 and about seveneighths inch in length.

In connecting the ends a button, 13, is inserted in one of the holes (7, c, or f, as may be required, to form the cuff of suitable size to fit in the end of a coat-sleeve, C, and the button is then passed through the hole I). The proper taper is given the cuff bya button, D, through the holes I) and c at either side of the cuff. The one edge, a, as illustrated, in the drawings, is thus rendered substantially straight, and is used as the exposed portion of the cuff; while the other edge, a, the portion concealed by the coat-sleeve,is curved about as shown. The arrangement of the holes and the elongation of the holes 0, e, and f enable the cuff to be readily adjusted to several sizes and degrees of taper.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- As an improved article of manufacture, a reversible cuff having the button-holes I) atone end and the long button-holes c at the other end for adjusting the sides of the culf, and the transverse button-holes Z) at one end and (Z, 6, andf at the other end intermediate the buttonholes I) and the buttonholes a, respectively, for adj ustiug the middle portion, substantially as set forth.

WILLIAM KAHLER.
